During the 90s he reached his peak with the release of Speed ​​or the highly acclaimed first Matrix film in which he became known as Neo. Since then he has not been given any other nickname, until the arrival of John Wick.
Over the past year, Reeves has been wanting to take a break and relax. So much so that the actor has written a novel called The Book of Elsewhere, in collaboration with writer China Miéville. Inspired by the world of comics, BRZRKRin this epic that reflects on the nature of existence and tells of a warrior from ancient Earth who cannot die. It is here that Reeves’ personal life is reflected more than ever with an impulsive fixation on the fear of dying.

Reeves has lost several people throughout his life that he loved, including his partner, his daughter and his best friend. These were very difficult times to face. That is why the actor wants to share his pain in lines of text.
What are Reeves’ upcoming projects?
